I like Killugon but I understand, it's annoying having softcore shota shoved in your face every thread.

The ritual posters in general annoy me but yeah s/he is one of them and their assurance that their kiddo ship is the cutest ever (I don't even like the designs) won't make me change the mind. It's also the same shizo who keeps seething about Takeuchi and believes that she manipulates the HxH author into killing off the gay, they even go into the Sailor Moon threads to screech about it. Plus points when they spam images without even bothering to write or start another discussion about how everybody who isn't into shota was worse than SJWs.

That said, I really enjoyed High Cards and I am also annoyed by the HC poster because they cannot even be bothered to post a different screenshot for once and they're probably yume too because they only post solo art of Chris. Well, at least the game husbando fag went silent I guess. I always forget the name of the game but she obsessed over some generic looking orange JRPG twink and basically talked to herself.

Maybe I sound too harsh. I am totally okay with people posting the shit they like but certain anons give off those vibes that they out to start a rivalry war or try to force others to accept their stuff as the best ever and I won't.
Like, I don't like Dr. Stone either but I am happy for that one super obsessed anon for getting all that fanart and doujinshi and being hyped about it.

>The ritual posters
I hate them as well. They are so lazy, spamming the same pics and catchphrases in every thread. They can't be even arsed to use new art or come up with something interesting to say.

>It's also the same shizo who keeps seething about Takeuchi
It's the same person? Does s/he spam HxH manga threads too?

The creator of Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged became a tranny.

You have got to be kidding me.

I feel like this with modern 'gamer' fujos that only play games with a fandom (undertale/deltarune, gachaslops, maybe popular 'flavor of the month' like people did with mouthwashing or vns like NDS which I doubt they actually DID play, some jrpgs like persona or FE, the always omnipresent pokemon) but don't actually like videogames. They don't like putting in effort in a game, let alone play it sometimes, and I'm absolutely sure that a lot of BNFs of game-adjacent fandoms don't even play the games they say they play. A lot of gachaslop creators also constantly say "I stopped playing (Gacha) some time ago" but still make art of it.
It feels like a lot of people got into nerd culture mid-covid but don't actually even enjoy it

Perhaps some of them are still kids who have no idea what they like and trying out different things. But that's an optimistic take.

NOT INVITED TO THE PARTY sour grapes.

I've never been sure why this is. Why bother getting into something when you don't actually like it? It does make me appreciate that Soulsbornes have such a high entry cap. Unfortunately, they've got a very male fan base as well, but I guess that's the price to pay to weed out (I hate to use the term, but it's right) fake fans, then so be it.

I have a vpn that goes through sometimes but it's a gamble and really frustrating when it doesn't work.

It's real????

Game based on the story yeah, I remember it had a good atmosphere though it also a twist ending that puts it at odds with the lost media.

If you're interested in the greentext it's worth checking out.

I remember Pumpkin Eater being really creepy and sad, the ost was really eerie as well.

Oh yeah the VN based off that green text. It was definitely a fun read, the jumpscares definitely tweaked me out though.

Someone here a while back was a Ne zha fan, nonna if you still exist I want you to know this fandom has some incredibly pretty fanart.

I like comedies.

Why is that site still broken?

That Burgerpant/NiceCream might continue next chapter. I believe.

I liked most of the flowers this chapter, though I think my favorite pairing to come from it is Asgore/Flowery.

Fuck Sony.
>Sony to end physical PlayStation game disc production in 2028
>Sony announced Wednesday that it will stop producing physical discs for all new PlayStation games starting in January 2028, marking a move into an all-digital future. After that, every new release will be sold digitally through the PlayStation Store and other retailers. Games released before the cutoff will continue to be available on disc.
>Additionally, Sony revealed on Wednesday that it’s shutting down the PlayStation Store on the PlayStation 3 in select markets later this year, followed by global closures of the PS3 and PlayStation Vita stores next year.
>Once those stores close, players won’t be able to purchase new digital content on those systems. Sony said previously purchased games and content will still be available to download for the foreseeable future.

Over 50% of Japanese game companies use AI in development, according to Tokyo Game Show organizer
>Japan’s Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association (CESA), the organization running Tokyo Game Show, released a preview of the “2025 CESA Video Game Industry Report” on September 25. As reported by The Nikkei, the research includes insights into how much domestic companies are using AI and generative AI.
>Based on responses from 54 Japanese game companies collected between June and July 2025, about 51% use generative AI in game development. The most commonly cited use of AI was in the generation of visual assets and images such as characters, followed by story and text generation; and lastly programming support. Reportedly, 32% of game companies are enlisting the help of AI to develop in-house game engines. The survey sample is made up of CESA’s member companies, which range from big players like Capcom and Sega to mid-sized and indie-scale developers.
>Several Japanese developers have been open about their use (or plans to use) generative AI. Professor Layton and Yo-Kai Watch developer Level-5 is one such example – back in 2023, they detailed their use of Stable Diffusion for upscaling assets, generating reference images for artists and creating parts of in-game backgrounds; as well as the use of Github Copilot for coding assistance.
>Capcom’s technical department has also been experimenting with generative AI models like Gemini Pro, Gemini Flash and Imagen, mostly for the purpose of brainstorming and prototyping background assets needed to fill out in-game environments (like TVs and similar objects). Their technical director considers this a potential way to free up developers’ time and resources, thus leading to higher quality games.
